His Excellent
. . . Judgment.
0
Original.
From my boyhood I mnrked out for
myself a polttic.il career. Bene boys
In tlirir hero worship run to proat
military or naval heroes. My heroes
wore always statesmen. I didn't
aspire to be a statesman myself, but I
did aspire to be politically promineut.
Before I was old enough to vote I was
running the polities of the ward in
which 1 lived. Kvery one said, "Watch
him; he will some day be a great po
litical manager."
l'.ut if there weiv elements In me to
r.dvanee me there seemed to be thoso
io pull me back. I didn't seem to
Jorge steadily onward. 1 would go up
H peg and fall back two pegs. Yet I
was energetic and pushing. When
ever a campaign was, on I would go
to the leaders of my party and give
them my views as to how the cam
paign should be managed. Thoy al
ways listened to me attentively and
Feemed to be Impressed. Sometimes
they took my advice and sometimes
they didn't. But, while 1 was always
prominent In a general way. somehow
J was not selected to nil nay promi
nent position.
One day my friend Crook said to me:
"There is one thing of supreme Impor
tance that is a blank in your mind.
You don't realize that no great success
can be made hi this world except by
hanging on to some one else's coat
tail. If I should give you a glass to
enable you to see it in that light, you
would behold a line of men each hang
ing on to the skirt of the man ahead
of him. like the tail of a kite reaching
lo.tr up into the sky. These are the
successes. Those who are drifting
about below figuring by themselves
never get anywhere. Now. I know
riumnyman. who is our candidate for
governor. lie is an original and a
.genius; never does anything like any
body else. I have influence with him,
for in one small respect he is a hanger
on to my coattail. He told me the
other day he was looking for a secre
tary for the coming campaign work.
If you like I'll get the position for
you."
"Shake, old man," I said. "You've hit
the nail on the head."
The next day my friend informed me
that he had told the candidate for gov
ernor all about me, frankly including
ray ill success. rhunnyman had
thought a moment, then said In bis
quick way: "Send him to me. I can
'make use of him."
I was engaged by the candidate at n
salary of $200 a month as assistant
secretary. He had a secretary who did
all the work, I occupying a much high
er position. I became a sort of polit
ical confidential adviser. Whenever
anything of importance would come up
he would take me Into his private
room, tell me all about It and ask my
opinion as to the besf course to pursue.
The right way always came to me at
once, it seemed, by intuition, and I
never had to deliberate, rhnnnvman
was a very secretive man and never
paid, "You are right" or "You are
wrong." lie made no comment what
ever; but, since he continued to consult
me. I concluded he found my advice
valuable.
Of course my position was a very
pleasant one. A box of cigars was al
ways at my disposal, and a decanter
with glasses was kept in a closet for
me. I'hunnyman almost always took
me out to lunch with him, for it was
then that he could best confide all the
various problems that came up before
him. There's no sphere which requires
such constant exercise of judgment as
politics. Not a day but a number of
questions came up, and many of them
had to be settled at once. There's
where my faculty for recognizing the
pith of a question came in.
Well, I'hunnyman was elected by
the biggest majority any candidate had
leceived for sixteen years. When it
was all over I supposed he would take
all the credit to himself, but he didn't.
I was at his house the night of the
election, where a telegraph apparatus
had been set up, and as soon as sum
dent returns had come In to insure
his election he grabbed me by the
hand, exclaiming Joyfully: "It's all due
to you, my boy. If it hadn't been for
your advice I'd have been defeated In
every county."
Now, that's what I call honor where
honor is due. The governor retained
me In my position, for you must know
that the position brings more prob
lems than a campaign to get it. He
doubled my salary, and there wasn't a
man in tbe state that had a better
position than I. Besides. I had lots of
opportunities to make money through
I:ifirmatii!i I possessed, and I made
it every time, though in this no jud
ment was required. I simply bought
-..hen I p;t the tip. !
When I'huiinyman was sent to the
United Stab senate ho took mo with I
hirn. lie didn't have much use for my !
ailvKe tr.cro. 7;7 l e was obliged to do
as the parly leader directed, so I asked
Jiini to make me a secretary in reality
as v.-o'l as i:i name. This he declined
to do, and, having secured a compe
tency, I loft him.
rhnnnvman died in the senate. Aft
er his death Crook, who had got me
my itositlon with him, showed me a i
letter of thanks the governor had sent
Vim the day after his election to that
oJIice. In It he said:
"There is a right and a wrong de
cision on most questions. I Judged
from what yi told me of his failures
that your friend always decided wrong,
so I took no step ia the campaign
without consulting him and doing the
opposite from what he advised me to
do. It Is incky I held to the rule, for
I often agreed with LIm."

BERLIN BEER HALLS.
Wher One Mutt Display Grent For
mality and Precisenet.
r.erlln Is organized for eating and
drinking, and so are the Berliner or
ganized for it. Scattered all over the
city are enormous places where food
is served, wiuo halls where only wines
are served and hecY halls which deal
in beer alone, some of them most re
spectable ami some not so impeccable,
it is the rule that it is perfectly proper
to take your mother or your wife or
your sister to a beer hall or a wine
hall that is frequented by the officers
of the army. They go only to the prop
er ones publicly.
The etiquette of these places is most
formal. If the hall is crowded and
tables are scarce, before you sit down
you draw your heels together and make
a military bow to everybody sitting at
the table you select; then also you
raise your glass. or stein to those at the
table when your refreshment Is served.
On leaving you bow all around again,
or the other people at the table bow if
they leave before you do. The Ameri
can way of asking the others at the
table for permission to sit down Is not
ceremonious enough for the Germans,
who are the most formally polite peo
ple in the world. Samuel G. Blythe in
Everybody's Magazine.
A FAMILY MIX.
The Story as It Is Recorded on the
Tombstones.
In the early part of the last century
there lived in an old .New England
town a Mr. Church, who, in the course
of his pilgrimage throughputs vale of
tears, was bereft of four w-ives, all of
whom were buried in the same lot. In
his old age it became necessary to re
move the bodies to a new cemetery.
This melancholy task the much be
reaved widower undertook himself,
but in the process the bones of the la
mented quartet became hopelessly
mixed. Priding himself on possession
of a New England conscience, Mr.
Church would not, under the painful
circumstances, permit the use of the
original headstones, but procured new
ones, one of which bore the following
Inscription: "Here lies Hanna4i Church
and probably a portion of Emily." An
other: "Sacred to the memory of Emi
ly Church, who seems to be mixed
with Matilda." Then followed these
lines:
Stranger, pause and drop a tear.
For Emily Church lies burled here.
Mixed in some perplexing manner
With Mary, Matilda and probably Han
nah. Philadelphia Ledger.
The Str Arcturus.
It is probable that the star Arcturus
is one of the six greatest of nil the
stars in the sky. Notwithstanding its
brightness, it Is so far away from us
that it is not displaced in position in
the slightest measurable degree, as
we change our position 186.000,000
miles in our annual journey around
the sun. Could we be placed midway
between Arcturus and our sun we
would receive thousands of times more
light and heat from the star than from
our sun, and this notwithstanding that
the star's radiation is smothered by
a dense blanket of metallic vapors. In
spite of its immense distance the star
is drifting slowly in a southwestward
direction over the face of the sky, .Its
motion changing its apparent position
by an amount equal to the diameter
of the moon in the course of about
1.000 years. So great an apparent mo
tion must indicate an enormous veloci
ty in space. New York Press.
Peppermint arid Tobacco.
If you have a boy who has begun
smoking too early and whom you wish
to cure of the habit, feed him pepper
mints. Dr. O. Clayton Jones of Silver
ton, England, writing in the London
Lancet, is authority for this simple
cure. Dr. Jones writes: "To break the
smoking habit in a youth there is noth
ing better than peppermint drops. He
cannot smoke with a 'bullseye' In his
mouth, and even for some time after
It is dissolved tobacco will not blend
kindly with the taste that remains.
Socially the cure may seem worse than
the disease, but from a medical point
of view the sucking of peppermints is
far less hurtful. A common 'bullseye'
will prevent smoking for nearly an
hour, 0 the amount of sweets used
need not be great."
His Discharge.
A touching instance of the humor
which never deserts a true Irishman
even In his worst troubles is recorded.
A soldier was seen in the trenches
holding his hands above the earth
works. His captain asked:
"What are you doing that for, Tat?"
He replied, with a grin, as he worked
his fingers:
"I'm feeling for a furlough, sir."
Just then a rifle ball struck his arm
just below the wrist. Then a queer ex
pression of pain and humor passed
over his face as he exclaimed:
"And faith it's a discharge." Lon
